My husband and I chose this hotel because of it's good location, it's green hotel and offers organic breakfast. The location was excellent as expected, room and bathroom were very nice and spacious and also very clean. Breakfast was good and large, loved the coffee. The staff was very kind and helpful and they arranged us a house car to get us to the airport, which was very nice.

Lots of restaurants nearby and easy walk to major attractions and to do some shopping.

Thank you so much for the stellar review. I am thrilled to read the location met your expectations. It is an amazing part of the city to be in for sightseeing. Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, ordering from the new breakfast menu is a great way to start before taking on San Francisco. I also appreciate you noticing our “green efforts” and recognizing our team. I feel very fortunate to work with such a great team, all focused on protecting the environment while providing excellent service for our guests. Come see us again soon.

This is our second visit to the Orchard Garden Hotel. The staff were pleasant and considerate. The room was large and smartly decorated. The room was quiet and had a comfortable comfortable bed. The included breakfast was well prepared and served with care. The location is ideal for the Union Square/Chinatown area and a short cable car ride to Fisherman's Wharf. Parking is expensive at $40/night but standard in that area of town. The connection to the Bay Bridge and the Oakland Airport was uncomplicated. We will stay there again when we travel to SF.

We stayed here for 5 nights in April, 2013. One couple with another couple, each with their own room. We were there for a fun vacation. The location was excellent, walking distance to many attractions, public transit, etc. Our rooms were a bit on the small side, with no decent chairs for sitting in. To get together with our friends for a drink in our room, we had to carry a chair from one room to the other, and we two gals sat on the bed. However, the rooms were nice, quiet, comfortable. We had breakfast only once, it was fine. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I would recommend it to others going to San Francisco on vacation.

Room Tip: Our room had no view at all, faced the back of something, but was very quiet.

Green Features: This was a nice touch. Recycling bins in the room. It was a factor for us when choosing this hotel.

All of us here at the Orchard Garden Hotel are thrilled you and your friends decided to stay with us for your fun filled vacation. Although I am pleased you found the room comfortable, I am sorry you felt crammed in the room during your get together. I would have suggested enjoying a beverage on the rooftop terrace.

I could not agree more about the location. There really is no need for a car, since most sights are in walking distance and the others just any easy bus ride away.

Thank you for the kind review and spreading word about our Hotel, we truly appreciate it.

I just returned from a 7 day business stay at the Orchard Garden Hotel right next to the gateway to Chinatown and very near Union Square in San Francisco. Having been to SF many times I know that the main problem with hotels in and around Union Square is noise. This one was absolutely silent at night, with very high quality bedding for light sleepers like myself. The Hotel is within 2-10 minutes walking distance of many of the city's finest restaurants, the American Conservatory Theatre and major retail shopping. The hotel staff are professional, prompt and accommodating. The hotel restaurant tends to be deserted especially after 8 PM. I found the breakfasts to be standard fare (with a few healthy options) at standard hotel rates. I rarely saw couples eating there at night time perhaps because of the plethora of good restaurants nearby such as E & O Asian Kitchen (awesome Asian crossover cuisine) and Colibiri (elegant Mexican tapas). The fitness club consists of 3 treadmills in a closet with no windows. You can buy passes at the hotel to the nearby 24 Hour Fitness Club for $15 per visit.In summary, a great hotel for light sleepers who need to be near Union Square. It is a bit pricey considering that there is no health club to mention but I am readily willing to pay more to get a quiet room and a good night's sleep.

Room Tip: Ask for rooms on the higher floors. If you have adjoining rooms with noisy and inconsiderate neighbo...

Thank you so much for the great review. Whether a guest is here for business or sightseeing, a quality night of rest is very important. I am so happy you were able to find that here. The double panned windows and well insulated walls do a very good job of sound proofing the rooms and I must agree the bedding is very comfortable.

Although the food at Roots is very good, the Salmon in the young green ginger onion sauce (delicious), getting out an experiencing local cuisine is a must. I am thrilled you were able to take advantage of some of the amazing restaurants nearby. The two you mentioned are actually some of my favorites too.

All of us here appreciate your feedback and we look forward to any and all of your future visits.

Thanks again,Quinn McEnteeFront Office Manager

Stayed in this hotel in April for several nights. Overall very nice large room, nice bed. Enjoyed my stay there, though there were several minor things I would change.Staff was helpful with ordering me a taxi to the airport, and nice overall.Convenient location - easy to get to BART and walking distance from some major attractions. But the hotel is in the downtown, so no real feel of San-Francisco until you get to some other areas around...Minor minuses:Street noise, even though had a window facing backyard...Breakfast quite expensive, though very small (so better just to have it somewhere outside)No stairs, only elevator, which makes you wait for quite some time, whereas I would prefer just to walk up.

Thank you so much for the kind review, we are truly grateful for your feedback. We are glad you found the location easily accessible and enjoyed the room. I am sorry you experienced some street noise. It can be very challenging to escape the sounds of downtown traffic.

Most people greet the elevator with a smile after walking the hills of San Francisco, so kudos to you for wanting to take the stairs. We actually have two stair cases, mostly there incase of an emergency, however guests are more than welcome to use them at their leisure.

All of us here hope you visit us again soon.RegardsQuinn McEnteeFront Office Manager

Picked the Orchard Garden strictly on the strength of the reviews on TripAdviser. Was NOT steered wrong. Spent 4 nights with wife and 2 kids. Stayed in Room 1002. Perfect! Nice clean room with very little street noise. You could stay at the front of the hotel and likely have more noise. If you prefer the quiet, give up the view and stay in the back.

Only hiccup was 4 people in the room and they repeatedly only gave us 3 bath towels. This could be part of their 'green' initiative??? Called front desk and had extra towels delivered within 5 minutes all four nights. Very prompt service.

Front desk very helpful in pointing out nearby needs. Bottled water at a market a block away. Breakfast at a diner three blocks away. Cab at the door in less than a minute. No complaints at all with the service. In short, no complaints. This is a hidden gem of a hotel that's a 3 minute walk from Union Square.

No question, would definitely stay here again. HIGHLY recommend it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, we truly enjoy your positive feedback. Oddly, one of my favorite things to read in a review is “hidden gem.”

We are happy the room was to your liking and accommodated your family comfortably. The well insulated walls and double paned windows not only help keep the warmth in (to prevent the usage of the heater, Green Initiative) but keep the rooms very quiet as well.

Although it seems the lack of towels were resolved quickly, I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. After reading your review, we have come up with a simple remedy to the hassle of calling down daily.

Again, thank you very much for the review and recommendation. We look forward to seeing you and your family again soon.

The hotel is right outside of the Chinatown Gate and is very convenient to Union Square, Chinatown and Nob Hill. It is a modern type of hotel, and very inviting. The staff were all wonderful and accommodating. There is a small gym and great rooftop deck with chairs and tables and nice views. We had a room with two beds and there was plenty of space in the room and the bathroom was very large compared to other hotels we have stayed at. All in all a very pleasant experience!
